I want my preschooler dressed modestly and smartly. Is that really too much to ask? 2T things that actually fit her in the neck and arms are all WAY too short now, and most 3T things fit like a sack. Shirts that fit in the neck/arms tend to leave her belly bared unless she's in a jumper. And soon it will be too hot for long pants. She has maybe 3 pairs of capris that are actually capri length on her, and of those one is too big in the backside/waist, one is actually boys' shorts and kind of loose in the waist!
Do I need to just break down and sew this child clothes? Should I just sew a ruffle to the bottom of all her cute 2T jumpers so they're long enough? Would that look wierd?
Many of her clothes are secondhand, and the rest were gifts from grandparents, we can't afford to go out and buy new things. And I get the feeling even if we did, I'd find little that I would consider tasteful and that properly fit my child.
Ack.
